The article discusses the newly available Outside+ app for iOS members, focusing on redefining yoga practice by encouraging exploratory movement in poses rather than just perfection. It emphasizes the benefits of being more agile both physically and mentally through approaches like Gate Pose (Parighasana). The piece provides detailed instructions on transitioning into Gate Pose from various starting positions, such as Tabletop and Easy Pose, and encourages practitioners to notice their experiences during this process, further supporting the idea that the journey in yoga is more valuable than the destination.
It's typical for yoga class to focus almost exclusively on poses. But what happens when you shift some of your attention to exploring unexpected ways into and out of the poses?
Your practice becomes more of a reminder that the journey truly is your destination.
After you've transitioned into Gate Pose and taken a few breaths there, try reversing out the same way you came into it.
Observe what, if anything, changes in your experience of the side body stretch.
